The car you see above marks the famed carmaker’s 40 years since it produced its first-ever mid-engined V8 model. It is the most powerful V8 in Ferrari’s history. Not to mention, the abovesaid V8 engine has, for four consecutive years in a row, won the International Engine + Powertrain of the Year award – as of late-2019.

But the Ferrari 488 dates way far back than 2019 since it was first unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2015. However, it made its way into the Indian market in the early days of 2016. Available in coupe and convertible body styles, the Ferrari 488 price puts it right next to the Portofino in the brand’s portfolio. Here’s what it offers.

Exterior

In brief, the Ferrari 488 new model looks absolutely gorgeous. From the blood-red ‘Rosso Corsa’ shade to the steeply raked roofline, the 488 leaves a striking impression. The supercar is further complemented by sleek sweptback headlamps, massive alloy wheels – which packs huge disc brakes – sporty ORVMs, and a clean tail section.

Variants

The Ferrari 488 variants are as follows: GTB and Spider. As far as the equipment is concerned, the standard Ferrari 488 on-road price gets you a clean interior with analogue switches. You do miss out on a touchscreen infotainment system, as the instrument cluster doubles up as the infotainment display. Moreover, in typical Ferrari fashion, you do get a multifunction steering wheel, which houses all the necessary controls.

Interior

The interior of the Ferrari 488 is perhaps built to perfection. The overall layout of the dashboard is, of course, driver-centric, giving it a cockpit-like feel. There are lots of controls on the steering wheel, as it helps you control the media or switch between driving modes without getting your eyes off the road. The seats are surprisingly comfortable too, and it can easily accommodate two full-size adults too.

Engine Specifications & Performance

Last but not the least, the Ferrari 488 comes powered with just a single powertrain, which is the company’s famed 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 gasoline motor, capable of producing 660bhp and 760Nm of torque. The engine comes mated to a 7-speed automatic gearbox as a standard fit.
